用作副词的 sure 可以放在动词后面吗

前面有个“好题分享”，涉及be sure to do与be sure doing：

John is sure ____ me enough.

A. to pay B. paying C. A和B 都对，但语义不同。

大家的意见是其中的 sure 是副词，但我觉得不对，因为我查柯林斯英语词典，上面说，用作副词的 sure 要放在动词前面——ADV before verb

感谢飞鱼网友关注好题分享。关于你的疑问，我的解释如下：

词典解释sure adv 用在动词前，没有错。

is sure paying, 动词是pay, is 为助动词或操作词。这里的sure实际=surely,

多见于美国英语。

请看外媒例句：

1. Rose is sure working her show.

2. Mom has sure been acting weird lately.

3. I was sure taken care of.

这是柯林斯词典的释义：

7. ADVERB [ADVERB before verb]

You can use sure in order to emphasize what you are saying.

[informal, emphasis]

'Has the whole world just gone crazy?'—'Sure looks that way, doesn't it?'

It sure is hot, he thought.

be sure to do 中的 sure 是形容词。
